PowerGadgets
I don’t give a hoot-nanny whatcha call it!
Widget—-Gadget–Spidgit—-WHAT EVER!… Where did these guys come from, and just what the heck is a "PowerGadget?"
By the way, Spidgit.com was available at the time of this writing. What? Spidgit is a cool name! Register Spidgit.com as your domain.
If you’re not a Windows Vista user, you will likely want to get the heck out of here now. I have several computer and one of them happens to have Vista, so here goes my post. You may want to visit their site tho just to see the graphics. Seriously!
What an awesome looking site!
No! not Spidgit…PowerGadgets.com. The depth of the picture in the header was enough to play tricks with my brain. I swear that girl frenched me……………so what? I sometimes have my face accidentally close to my monitor??? Doesn’t everybody? Take A look
Anyway…The aesthetic quality makes you almost buy the product simply because its so appealing. Sounds like a kick ass product to boot! I’m seriously thinking about this one.
From the PowerGadget site: "PowerGadgets is a revolutionary new data visualization product that utilizes Windows PowerShell, Microsoft’s new scripting shell, to allow the creation of Gadgets in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server Longhorn.
PowerGadgets requires no complex development environments, servers or browsers to run real-time Gadget components such as charts, gauges and maps on your desktop or in the Windows Sidebar."
Check out thier PowerGadget video tutorials that show the power of real-time monitoring and reporting on your Vista desktop and Sidebar.
There’s an additional video which shows how to create PowerGadgets by piping cmdlets via Windows PowerShell.
Any users of this product have an opinion?
I’m back to gadget…I mean Widget. Cya!

===============
I’ll second that Billy! We shouldn’t have to put so much brain power in for such a simple result. Right?
That’s what Widgets are for! Wake up peeps!
To answer your question of will it ever end…
The only thing that remains the same is that everything changes.
Thanks for the nice comments about the blog and good luck with your idea.

I look at the potential here and I just see danger writ large. There’s so much potential for hacking into vulnerable web sites using this kind of technology.

O, it is excellent to have a giant’s strength; but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.
